Error description

  • DXL errors received while working with an RPE template:
    
    
    -R-E- DXL: ?source/DOORS/dxl/doors driver/doorsToXml.inc:414?
    cannot open file () for appending (Permission denied)
    Backtrace:
        ?source/DOORS/dxl/doors driver/doorsToXml.inc:4185?
        ?source/DOORS/dxl/doors driver/doorsToXml.inc:4928?
        ?source/DOORS/dxl/doors driver/doorsToXml.inc:4955?
    -I- DXL: execution halted
    
    
    The error is not caused due to any individual element in the RPE
    template BUT a combination.
    
    Comment from Dev in Jazz WI:230397
    
    Please raise an APAR to dev team.
    There is a dxl function called by RPE to create a buffer with
    initial limited size for parsing xml file, but the file real
    size is greater than the buffer size. When the buffer is full,
    The buffer size will be auto increased by 1000 and rewrite the
    buffer again.  But there is a special situation that the xml
    file size is really greater than the buffer size, but the buffer
    still can not be full. This should be a DOORS buffer create
    mechanism.
    
    For a example, if the xml file size is 10193, and the buffer
    initial size is 1000, when the buffer is wrote to 9973, the
    process is over. At the same time, the While() condition will
    not work for increasing buffer size. And this cause the xml file
    content is not fully written into buffer.
